THE st. Paul Pioneer Press crrs in cred
ting Robert Stocker to st. Peter. He is
New Ulm boy, and the honor he has
brought to his town and state is due not
alone to himself. He was appointed
from this district at the solicitation of
Congressman Wakefield, after having
passed a very creditable examination
before board of exa miners in this city.
Congressman Wakefield took great in
terest in the young man, and extended
him many favors hardly to be expected
from stranger. Suckers parents were
too poor to provide him with means suf-
ficient to take him to Annapolis and give
him the start necessary. Mr.. Wakefield
came in possession of the fact, and true
to the instincts of his generous nature,
made it possible for the young man to
fill his appointment and 90 distinguish
himself before the world. For this act
of kindness Mr.. Wakefield will ever be
held in the light of benefactor as he
was in the truest sense, and his name
will ever be sweet in the ear of that
young man whose future has been made
by this simple act of kindness. Mr..
Wakefield has often expressed himself
as confident that Robert would graduate
with high honors. and he always took
delight in receiving communications
from him. He now has the satisfaction
of knowing that the first selection made
by him after assuming the srduous du.
ties Of Congressman has proved mos
honorable one.

Railroad Building.

Railroad building is being pushed
with unprecedented vigor in the United
States. From the statistics compiled
by the Railway Age, it is shown that
from January l, 1887, to May l, 1887, a
period of five months, the new rail
roads constructed in the United States
aggregate no less than 2,351 ON eighty
eight lines in thirty-three states and
territories. This has never before
been equalled at this season of the
year, with the exception of that year OF
railway building, 1882, when the mile.
age constructed in the country reached
the great total of IL ,56S miles. Already
the track laid down in the first five
months of the year in which frosts and
rains prevail, aggregate about eighty
per cent. of the entire mileage built in
the year 1885.
More than half the track thus far re.
ported laid is as follows: Indian Terri
tory 800 miles; Texas $3.50; Kansas 262
Dakota 222, making total in these foul
portions ofthe country of l,24O miles
while California has added l57, Colora
do 107 and Nebraska 100 miles. None
of the other states, so far as the rec
ords show, have yet laid 100 miles
each, but several of them will soor
greatly exceed that figure. The work
of construction is almost entirely con
fined to the new West, not mile bein,

The Best Thing 1t Did.
[Sleepy Eve Herald

lSleepy Eye Herald
The best thing transacted at the con-
vention was the passage of resolution
empowering the executive committee of
the association to prosecute any viola
lations of the interstate and state rail-
road laws by the railroad companies,
whenever in their judgment it might be
deemed advisable, and to employ coun-
sci to assist in such prosecutions. The
discussions upon this resolution showed
a cropping out of latent distrust in the
board of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners, whose duty it is to prosecute
such violations. The idea seemed to
prevail that application should first be
made to the commissioners, and in case
they failed to act, the executive commit
tee should take up the fight. In this
particular there is prospect that the
association may possibly be the source
of relief to the business interests repre-
|sented by it in securing Justice through
the courts. One case, if victorious, will
do more to establish confidence in the
association, as "a defender of public rights,
than all that has been accomplished by
the railroad commission of the state for
years, and one step of the kind carried
to successful result will bring to the
association the universal support of the
business men of the state.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The regular meeting of the board of
trade was held Monday, with Pres
ident Noe in the chair. There was but
little business to tranact, and the session
was short one.
A communication received from the
Minneapolis Tribune correspondent, Mr..
Wilson, relating to his write-up of the
city, was laid on the table.
Mr.. Geo. T. Barr, from the committee
appointed to entertain the delegates to
the Business Mems convention, present
ed a report of what had been done to-
ward the entertainment of the delegates.
Mr.. s. F. Barney reported that the
matter of the proposed celebration of
the completion of the Cannon Valley
railroad had been referred to the Presi-
dent of that railroad.
Mr.. Washburn, from the encampment
committee, reported that the committee
was at work, and stated what things it
would be necessary to provide. He said
that Battery F, 4th Artillery, of Fort
Smelling, and ten or twelve companies OF
militia would encamp here. He stated
that 81 600 would be necessary to meet
all the expenses of the encampment,
and recommended that a committee OF
eight be appointed to solicit the amount
from our citizens. The following COM
mittee was appointed: Geo. E. Brett,
chairman; Frederick Kron, Wendell
Hodapp, Henry Zimmerman, Jacob
Wagon, III. P. Christensen, Geo. A.
Clarke, j. T. Lenfesty. This committee
consists of two men from each ward, and
will press the matter of solicitation at
once.
Mr.. w. r. Geddes called the attention
of the board to the fact that the Southern
Minnesota Editorial Association will
meet here June 81. The matter was re-
ferred to the reception committee.
The board adjourned.

PRESS COMMENTS.

Philadelphia Press: The Mugwump
organs are all scolding Uncle John Sher-
man for his Illinois speech. There could
be no sweeter fiattery for Mr.. Sherman's
utterances.
New Orleans Picayine: George Will
liam Curtis says the post of honor in
politics Is in sitting on the fence. Pub.
lie opinion is making barbed wire for
these Indifferent citizens.
New York Tribune: Possibly the In
terstate Railroad Commission is coming
to be like Congress itself, 80 divided in
its opinions that it is practically unable
to do anything.
New York San: What is wanted in
this city Is more liberty for the individ-
ual man. and less government. The
Legislative Committee of the knights of
Labor are working for despotism, and
not for free institutions.
| st. Louis Globe Democrat: We Judge
from the Democratic comments on Mr..
Sherman's speech that to be a good citi-
zen now a man should have vivid
memory for the fraud of 1876" and a
vivid forgettery for the violence of 1861
'65.
| Cleveland Plain Dealer: There is no
Democrat in the state who will stand in
the way of Mr.. Humans nomination,
if it is known that the veteran statesman
will consent to remain on the ticket and
lead his party once again TO victory.
New York Commercial Advertiser: The
whole country will unite in congratulate
ing Chicago on Its deliverance from the
danger which has long menaced society
there and everywhere. But the sooner
the condemned anarchists are hanged,
the better it will be for Chicago.
Cincinnati Enquirer. Whether one
likes or dislikes the Maine statesman,
the facts remain and demand attention,
to-wit: That there is no man now living
in the United States whose comings and
lgoings attract SO much interest as those
lof James g.. Blaine.

If, now, local organizations could be
formed in all the larger cities, they could
readily inform themselves of any viola
tions of the statute, and then take steps
to demand the proper enforcement of
the law, without the imputations that
might be made against an individual
prosecution. Such local organizations
could not be accused of personal malice
or spite work. Their zeal for law and
order, if persistently displayed and
backed up by this association, would
many times prove preventive, and
thus avoid the necessity of legal inter-
ference. / commend the whole subject
to the consideration of this association,
and trust that some means may be de-
vised for securing to the public and to
ourselves the full benefits of the admira-
BILE law we now possess.
As my term of Office now draws to
close, | wish to thank my fellOw-assOci-
ates for the honor they have seen fit to
confer upon me. And l ask, during the
few remaining hours that my duties re-
quire me to preside, a continuance of
the generous charity you have so uni
formly shown me during the past year.
May the discussions and deliberations
of this occasion rebound to the advance
ment of intelligent, practical pharmacy.
The address of President Jones was
well received and the suggestions therein
made were referred to a committee of
three to report on recommendations.
Mr.. j. G. Eliel addressed the meeting ON
behalf of the National Wholesale Drug
Association. DIR. o. Sweeny responded
for the society.
The reports of the secretary and tras-
urer were read and accepted.
Twenty new members were elected
and admitted to the society. Adjourned
until 2 p. m.
tip. m. the society met for the tran
saction of business. The following Off

ing year: President, j. p. Allen, st.
Paul; first vice-president, j. c. lining,
Saltwater; second vlce-president, Doug
las A. Pietri, Duluth; third vlce-presi-
dent, I'll. H. Meyer, Sleepy Eye; secre-
tary, f. F. Allen, Minneapolis; treasur-
err, R. Nc Masters, st. Paul. After the
reading of several papers the society adj

MATTERS connected with the threaten
ed labor strike in st. Paul, are assuming
rather positive shape, and it is among
the probabilities that a general lockout
will result within day or two. The
striking carpenters have been joined by
the brick-layers, and it is claimed that
plumbers, and steam-ftters, stone-ma-
sons, stone-cutters, plasterers and paint
ers, will fall into line. The strength OF
these different trades is estimated at
over 1900, and should they all quit work
it will prove a serious drawback to the
building interests of st. Paul. The print
ers are also discussing the propriety OF
joining in the strike, but the sentiment
of the Union is strongly against such a
course, and it is likely they will take no
action

THERE is not man in this country who
has done so much for the advancement
of stock as Mr.. j. j. Hill, President of
Manitoba railroad. He has the finest
herd of thoroughbred cattle to be found
in the country, and his ambition is to
make the Northwest the leading
region for growing blooded stock. On
Saturday Mr.. Hill received forty-eIght
head of Polled Angus and Short Horns
from South Quebec, where they had
been held in quarantine for year on
account of the existence of plenro-pneu-
monia. Mr.. Hills cattle, however, were
discharged from quarantine some six
month ago, but the owner preferred to
leave thec, there until this time to avoid
any possibility of danger. The cattle
came from Scotland and the consign-
ment is valued at $4,000. Mr.. Hill has
been a valuable man to Minnesota in
more ways than one, and his great wealth
is constantly adding value to the stock
interest of the Northwest.

IN REGARD TO THE ENCAMP.
MENT.

To the Citizens of Mankato and Vicinity
On the 9th day of July the Second
Reg't, MN. q. and Battery F, 4th Ar
tillery, U. S. A., from Fort Smelling, will
60 into camp at Mankato for ten days
The encampment will beupon Germania
Park addition, Told driving park adj
Joining Mankato City. During the en-
campment more people will visit the
city from various parts of the state than
have ever visited il on any other occa-
sien. 1t is important that Mankato
shall appear at its best and that its citi-
zens be true to their already enviable
record for hospitality to the end that
all who come shail go away pleased and
speak for our cit, good word. To this
end we earnestly urge the cooperation
of all citizens, each in his own way, to
add something to the success of the en-
campment. Let residences, public
buildings and places of business be
tastefully and periodically decorated,
and we suggest that merchants and 9TH
ers in the same community join in their
decorations, extending them where
possible over and across the street.
Let citizens in different parts of the
city vie with each other in this regard.
Money will have to be raised to defray
the expense of constructing mess house,
stables, flag staff, rifle range and for
clearing the grounds and furnishing
straw, ice, wood and water, and for am
munition for sham battle All this will re.
quire 81 900 or l 200 and will be all spent
at home. The president of the Board of
Trade will appoint a soliciting commit
tee and the money ought to be raised in
a half day. When New Ulm could
twice raise the necessary funds it will
be no burden upon Mankato to raise il
once, The Honorable Mayor and City
Council will heartily cooperate in the
matter and will render valuable assist
ance in their official capacity. We urge
that all persons who may have wares to
sell or transportation to furnish, shall do
SO at reasonable living rates, neither
missionary or extortionate. We scarce
ly think this remark necessary but ex-
perience elsewhere has dictated the
suggestion here.
Let Mankato have the best and most
successful encampment that the Regi-
ment has ever had and while it will cost
us some labor and little money, we
will haye no reason to regret it. Many
who have heard of Mankato and have
never been here, will take this occasion
to visit us, and 1t lies in our own hands
whether they get good impressions or
poor ones of our city and its resources.
There will be infantry and artillery
drills, parades, a grand sham battle,
Governors reception and ball, reviews
inspection, rifle practice and many other
interesting features.
Let every man, woman and child feel
that he has part in the encampment,
and let each one do somethidg to help it
along; do something to make everybody
feel at home and to make them by your
action, to believe what Is the truth, that
Mankato is the Paradise of Minnesota,
and that its people are fit to be the in
habitants thereof.
Respectfully,

HENRY GEORGE devotes an entire page
in last weeks Standard to making a Sc
we're attack on VIM. O'Brien, the great
Irish editor, who has just made his de-
parture. The cause of Mr.. Georges OPP
position is well understood to be the po-
sition which Mr.. O'Brien took of strict
neutrality on the issues which George
and McGlynn are trying to impress upon
the workingmen of New York. 1t was
very good thing for Mr.. O'Brien that
he had the sense to keep clear of an ALI
ance with the alleged Gland reformers,"
and all the spouting Mr.. George does
will not do anybody great harm.

In THE number of COMMITMENTS in
the churches OF the United States, the
Roman Catholic stands first, with a
membership of I, 100000. The fourteen
different Methodist organizations come
next, with total membership of 1852
65S. The Baptists third, with 3,727 ,O2O
Presbyterians fourth, with 1,082, 436
Lutheran fifth, with 930,836; Congre.
gationalists sixth. with 4S6, $40; and
Episcopais seventh, with 430, 53l. The
entire member ship is placed at 12,0l8
997. OF the gains of the last four years
the Methodists are to be credited with
more than one half the ministers and
with one-third of the churches anC
membership. The growth of this body
is enormous, it having arisen within one

A VISIT TO THE FIRE BRICK AND
TILE WORKS.

Through the kindness of Messrs.
John C. Noe and F. Alberger repre-
sentative of the FREE PRESS was en-
abled to spend an hour very pleasantly
Saturday morning, looking over the Fire
Brick and Tile works. The drive out to
the works is very fine passing as it does
through beautiful groves and over the
rising knowls that abound i'm the western
part of the city. Arriving at the works.
the first thing that strikes the observer
is the immense piles of brick and tile
that surround the factory. Entering
the works, the basement was first visit
ed, where four kinds of clay and one
kind of sand is stored, out of which
four qualities of material is made. The
different kinds of clay are mixed up in
large reservoir for the purpose, al
most any quality of ware being posi-
BILE by changing the proportion of the
elements. The raw material then goes
through press and comes out in the
shape of bar which is cut into the
right length for brick, or whatever
is needed. The material is prepared in
tile, brick, etc., and then sent up into
the three upper stories, where it is
thoroughly dried. From there they are
taken to two large down draught
kilns, situated between the factory and
and the side-track. There they are
baked for two days when they are
ready to be shipped. Fire and drain
tile and fire and hollow brick are at
present being turned out. Some fire.
proof plates for doors are also being
made for the cement and gas works.
The fire brick is pronounced equal
to any in the United States. Sewer
pipe will be made here at no very dis
tant date.
The clay is obtained on 36-acre tract
of land situated near where the Mil
waukee 4 st. Paul road crosses the lie
Sueur river, though there are many
other places where it can be obtained.
The different kinds of clay found
about here are fire, tile, kaolin or china,
terra Gotta and potter's clay. The COM
pany has turned out some fine terra
Gotta work, but does not propose to en-
ter into that line. Mr.. Alberger visit
ed the fire-clay works in different parts
of the East last winter, and returned
perfectly satisfied with his own plant.
The clay used here is much better than
that in use in most places.
The Milwaukee q st. Paul railroad
has run side-track to the factory. All
that is needed to give the drain tile
boom is some wet weather. Should
natural gas be found in this vicinity the
fire brick and tile business here will be-
come one of the most important in the
country.
The works were only started last
year, and though young establishment
the business thus far has been such as
to prove that the industry will be sue

THE story is started that the presence
of Congressman Reed, of Maine, in the
Northwest is to throw out "feelers' as
to the chances of Mr.. Blaine. The only
thing that makes this view improbable
is the well-known fact that if Mr..
Blaine wants the nomination all he has
to do is to say so. He has no occasion
to send out an agent to determine what
the feeling of the Northwest is toward
him
